Malleable signature schemes allow altering signed data in a controlled way while keeping the signature verifiable trusting the signer’s key. Several constructions exists. They can be grouped in two different categories: (1) redactable signatures (RSS) and (2) sanitizable signatures (SSS). RSSs allow for removing blocks of a signed document, while SSSs offer the possibility to change all admissi...

Most RF beacons-based mobile robot navigation techniques rely on approximating line-of-sight (LOS) distances between the beacons and the robot. This is mostly performed using the robot's received signal strength (RSS) measurements from the beacons. However, accurate mapping between the RSS measurements and the LOS distance is almost impossible to achieve in reverberant environments. This paper ...

Context-aware applications have been gaining huge interest in the last few years. With cell phones becoming ubiquitous computing devices, cell phone localization has become an important research problem. Database Correlation Method (DCM) is a positioning technology that based on a database of a premeasured location dependent variable such as Received Signal Strength (RSS). DCM has shown superio...

With the development of Internet, the information which appears by text form is more and more frequent. It becomes one kind of the most easily to gain and the richest interactive resources. In recent years, different commercial Weblog subscribing systems have been proposed to return stories from users' subscribed feeds. An RSS feed may have several different topics. A user may only be inte...

Self-configuration in wireless sensor networks is a general class of estimation problems that we study via the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB). Specifically, we consider sensor location estimation when sensors measure received signal strength (RSS) or time-of-arrival (TOA) between themselves and neighboring sensors. A small fraction of sensors in the network have a known location, whereas the remaining ...

Motivation: A core computation of many popular quantitative trait locus, QTL, mapping methods is determining the residual sum of squares, RSS, for a regression of trait values on (pseudo-)marker genotypes. A single evaluation is easily performed using the standard method QR factorization, but together the RSS computations take considerable time and often constitute the major part of the computa...

Malleable signature schemes (MSS) enable a third party to alter signed data in a controlled way, maintaining a valid signature after an authorized change. Most well studied cryptographic constructions are (1) redactable signatures (RSS), and (2) sanitizable signatures (SSS). RSSs allow the removal of blocks from a signed document, while SSSs allow changing blocks to arbitrary strings. We rigoro...

In this paper we give an overview of the Foafing the Music system. The system uses the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) and Rich Site Summary (RSS) vocabularies for recommending music to a user, depending on her musical tastes. Music information (new album releases, related artists’ news and available audio) is gathered from thousands of RSS feeds —an XML format for syndicating Web content. On the oth...

This work presents an alternative approach (Evolutionary Algorithms approach) to traditional treatment of Recommender Systems (RSs). The work examines genetic algorithms possibilities to offer adaptive characteristics to this systems trough learning. The main goal, in addition to give a general view about RSs capabilities and possibilities, it is to provide an example mechanism for to extend RS...

We present an Android smartphone platform for the evaluation of RSS fingerprint-based algorithms. Our system follows a mobile-based network-assisted architecture to eliminate the communication overhead and respect user privacy. When a user enters our university campus a smartphone client conducts a single communication with a dedicated server to receive the RSS radiomap and algorithm-specific p...
